In the mountains of Nepal, a young boy, Ashok, flees Maoist violence in his village. Sadananda, an old Kathmandu holy man, takes him in and teaches him how to survive in the city. Five years pass, and Andrew, an aid worker, is accidentally given a cryptic, confidential letter in his Kathmandu hotel. He quickly becomes the target of menacing figures, including Merrick, an urbane, dangerous Englishman. As the hunt intensifies, Andrew meets Ashok and his English friend, Kate, who take him to Sadananda for advice. While he considers the problem, the old sadhu distracts them with tales of the ancient Himalayas: how a primeval lake became the Kathmandu Valley; how the Buddha’s disciple overcame murderous robbers in the Great Forest; and how a Kathmandu prince escaped Nepal to forge an alliance with the king of Tibet and regain his throne. But when Ashok goes missing, Andrew is plunged into a frightening world of conspiracy and deception

One of the greatest cities of the Himalaya, Kathmandu, Nepal, is a unique blend of thousand-year-old cultural practices and accelerated urban development. In this book, Thomas Bell recounts his experiences from his many years in the city—exploring in the process the rich history of Kathmandu and its many instances of self-reinvention. Closed to the outside world until 1951 and trapped in a medieval time warp, Kathmandu is, as Bell argues, a jewel of the art world, a carnival of sexual license, a hotbed of communist revolution, a paradigm of failed democracy, a case study in bungled western intervention, and an environmental catastrophe. The layered development of the city can be seen in the successive generations of its gods and goddesses; its comfort in the caste system and ethos of aristocracy and kingship; and the recent destabilizing effects of consumerist approaches and the push for egalitarianism and democracy. In important ways, Kathmandu’s rapid modernization can be seen as an extreme version of what is happening in other traditional societies. Bell also discusses the ramifications of the recent Nepal earthquake. A comprehensive look at a top global destination, Kathmandu is an entertaining and accessible chronicle for anyone eager to learn more about this fascinating city.

Set against the backdrop of approaching civil war, the story of a young girl's coming of age by one of Nepal's newest, strongest voices writing in English Sumnima Tamule is in a crisis. Her friends at Rhododendron High School--all girls from semi-royal and other rich families--will soon be going abroad, but she, with second-division marks in her final exams, might have to settle for a grimy little college in town. Her parents, plodding away in middle-class Kathmandu, are deeply disappointed, and all their hopes are now pinned on Numa, her sister. Sundry cousins from their village in far-off Lungla--driven out by poverty and the warring Maoists--come to live with the family, trample upon her privacy, and wage kitchen politics with Boju, her foul-tongued grandmother. Other relatives embarrass her with their gauche village ways. And, worst of all, Sagar, Sumnima's US-returned RJ boyfriend, for whom she has been lying, sneaking around and stealing money from home, keeps her waiting for his phone calls. Employing a rich cast of characters, The Wayward Daughter tells the story of a young girl seeking out love, finding herself and her own spaces in life. Equally, it draws a telling portrait of Kathmandu--its class and caste divisions, its cosmopolitanism which exists alongside conservative attitudes, and its politics due to which a civil war looms. Written with humour, empathy and skill, this novel is a must-read.

Kim Stanley Robinson's Escape From Kathmandu is a light-hearted fantasy tribute to the world of extreme mountain climbing follows the adventures of two American expatriates living in Nepal. Living in the city of Kathmandu in the Kingdom of Nepal are dozens of American and British expatriates who are in love with the Himalayas. George Fergusson is one of them--he works as a trek guide for "Take You Higher, Ltd.", leading groups of tourists into the back country and occasionally assisting on serious climbs. George "Freds" Fredericks is another--a tall, easy-going American who converted to Buddhism while in college. He visited Nepal one year and never went home. The adventures started when George and Freds got together over the capture of a Yeti--an abominable snowman--by a scientific expedition. The thought of such a wild and mysterious creature in captivity--in prison--was too much for them to bear. And in freeing the Yeti, a great partnership was born. George and Freds will go on to greater heights as they explore the mysteries of Nepal, from Shangri-La to Kathmandu's governmental bureaucracy.

From “a major new talent” come short stories set in modern Nepal, about arranged marriages, forbidden desires, and the universal yearning for human connection (Amitav Ghosh). Set in a city where gods are omnipresent, privacy is elusive, and family defines identity, these are stories of men and women caught between their own needs and the demands of their society and culture. Psychologically rich and astonishingly acute, with “a masterful narrative style” (Ian MacMillan), Arresting God in Kathmandu introduces a potent new voice in contemporary fiction. “Upadhyay brings to readers the flavor of Nepal and its culture in this impressive collection of nine short stories. Like Ha Jin’s Bridegroom, Upadhyay’s stories portray the lives of simple yet psychologically complex characters and reveal much about the universal human condition in us all. . . . Upadhyay’s stories leave the reader with much food for thought and will make a good choice for book discussion groups.” —Library Journal

Intermittently set between fantasy world history and a decade in Kathmandu, the novel follows the lives of the mythical Sisyphus and a young Mukti in their quest against the "Dark Warmth", a feeling which renders a terrible awareness that existence is inherently meaningless. In the decade following the end of civil war in Nepal, Mukti grows angry and depressed unable to find his identity. He becomes increasingly nihilistic and conducts himself with villainy against Kathmandu, the city which itself is caught between old and new conventions as brought by the vision of "Naya Nepal" And Sisyphus, having being released by Zeus from his ordeal, is cast upon earth to heal humankind against "Dark Warmth", and pursues the likes of Marcus Aurelius, Friedrich Nietzsche, Aswatthama and other notable historical figures to counsel and inspire humanity. Read "The Absurdist of Kathmandu" to watch the world of Mukti and Sisyphus collide in this philosophical yet action packed tale through time and through ordeals.
